In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
This classes uses nearpod. Students will need to be able to click a link and chat and use their first name to identify their work on the nearpod. No log-in or other personal identifying information is collected. This book contains fears from a child that they will be rejected based on their developing awareness of their transgender identity. However, the actual response is extremely positive. This book contains mentions of ghost which cause very brief accidental harm to a character. Characters attempt to communicate with the ghost through various means but the ghost is never threatening. The off-screen death of a character's uncle due to cancer is prominently featured in the book.
